One Health

One Health is a collaborative, multisectoral approach that integrates human, animal, and environmental health to prevent, detect, and respond to emerging infectious diseases. With over 70% of new human diseases originating from animals, this framework is essential to global health security. It emphasizes early detection of zoonotic threats, antimicrobial resistance monitoring, and coordinated response strategies across health, agriculture, and environmental sectors.

The approach supports local to global interventions—from hygiene education and veterinary controls to cross-border pathogen surveillance and risk assessment.
